Terrorists storm mosque, spray bullets, kill three, abduct several others in Katsina

In a horrifying moment, terrorists stormed a mosque and open fire at worshippers in a mosque in Katsina State on Wednesday night and in the morning of Thursday killing three with several others sustaining various degree of injuries.

Several persons were also abducted which the number was yet to be ascertained at the time of filing this report.

A source who narrated the incident said, the fully armed terrorists spray bullet at random at the unsuspecting Muslim worshippers, killing three of them at a spot.

“The assailants descended upon our Muslim brothers during Ishai prayer.

“Tragically, two of them lost their lives within the mosque premises, while a third met a fatal end outside the mosque while attempting to escape the onslaught.

“Four others sustained injuries and are currently undergoing treatment at a hospital in Kankara.”

The chaos, he said, escalated as the hoodlums, further abducted a man and two women during the attack. “Unfortunately, the man’s refusal to go with the assailants cost him his life as he was mercilessly butchered for daring to defy the abductors,” the source revealed.
